Isn't it perfect that he rocks the eyeglass case and pocket pen when he kicks out the jams?

All he needs to complete the uber-hip image is some scotch tape holding his glasses together. lol
What i'm wondering is how the strings are attached. hmmm

That sent me on the hunt to try and find other wacky guitars...

Glenn Branca?

He's kinda famous - well-known amongst the no-wave noise fetishists...

and he does look like a demented, homeless Jarvis Cocker, doesn't he?

It's called The Touch Guitar and is made by a company called Bunker.

Here's the description from the Ed Roman Guitars site...

This instrument is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen played in my life. Incorporating a bass guitar and a 6 string guitar, it is played by simply touching the strings to the frets.

There are numerous patents on the design, the bridge, the electronics and the construction process. The guitar uses noise gate technology to create it's distinctive tone and sound.



Here are some others that are more traditional in design but still a bit out there:

Another one from the Ed Roman site...



...the B.C. Rich "Woman" Guitar


From the Exotic Guitars site...



...Dragon Lyre




...Eden




...MotorGuitar




...Skeletar




...Egyptian Fantasy




...Monarch
